The Mordellidae Latreille, 1802 (Coleoptera: Tenebrionoidea) fauna of Iran is summarized. A total of 48 species are re-ported, subdivided into ten genera: Dellamora Normand, Mediimorda Méquignon, Mordella Linnaeus, Mordellaria Er-misch, Mordellistena A. Costa, Mordellistenula Stchegoleva-Barovskaya, Mordellochroa Emery, Paratomoxioda Ermisch, Stenalia Mulsant, and Variimorda Méquignon. Mordellistena (Mordellistena) batteni Horák, 1980, Mordelliste-na (Mordellistena) humeropicta Ermisch, 1963, Mordellistena (Mordellistena) intersecta Emery, 1876, Mordellistena (Mordellistena) neuwaldeggiana (Panzer, 1796), Mordellistena (Mordellistena) parabrevicauda Ermisch, 1965, Mordel-lochroa abdominalis (Fabricius, 1775), Stenalia escherichi Schilsky, 1899 and Stenalia gracilicornis Baudi de Selve, 1878 are new country records and the new taxonomic combination is proposed Mediimorda fallaciosa (Stshegoleva-Barowska-ja, 1930) n. comb.
